I think they look sweet, but would flourescent really be brighter than LED?? Interesting, these look extremely similar, if not the same, to another set of lamps also on ebay that someone posted up here some months back.

ya i think they look pretty nice too. and LED prob is brighter but im just looking for brighter then the stock ones cuz im a driver and well lets say it gets really dark in places with big ditches haha so anything brighter would do and also something that im looking for in it is the halo eyes and the little like light dots (i know total mechanic talk :p) but ya anyone know where i can maybe get nicer ones?

ya i kind wish i had more options to choose from though you know it'd just be nicer. and dalaseju if you read those ones wont have warranty im not sure if thats a big deal for you though

There are about seven different ads for the same headlight lol. Someone on here has them though.

im not that hung up on the price haha i just went with this one cuz the seller has good reviews last thing i want is too get scammed. but ya i already have the money saved up if i was still saving i would have most likely gotten the cheaper priced ones.

The clear plastic on these aftermarket headlamps may not last that long in the sun. I've had a similar set in another car made from the same manufacturer and they fog up within 2 years.. I hope they have fixed this issue.

Can always heat up the lights and pop the plastic to change them... I'm planning on running a strip of silicone when I first get them all the way around to make sure the seal is tight.

I have no intention of running the angel eye on it, however, I do plan on adding a yellow LED strip along the bottom and wiring these so when the turn signal comes on the LEDs inside the lights turn off and then come back on again.

I currently just have a dual coloured strip right now that I have wired to do that, my only worry is the power inverter.... But I suppose I can run the relay after the power inverter and then from the relay back to the LEDs.

Who knows anything about inverters?

Here was a link I found that shows what the backside of the lights look like detail KSPEC KDM Performance Center

ya i hope so too.. i mean i paid good money and normally you get what you pay for but doesnt really mean much. and where i live it's barely sunny :( you live in L.A it's way hotter and sunnier there then here haha

damn i wish i was good with cars... i barely know half the things zabes is talking about and i do not want to go to the dealer or anything to get it installed i took mechanics in high school and i can change head lights but i wish i could do that turn signal thing i've always liked that.

You need a relay on each light, capacitors, resistors etc... here is a link to what it looks like and the difference will be the LEDs inside the new lights will turn off and the turn signal will come on.
